AT&T, Black Future Month Celebrating Those Making History Today to Shape Tomorrow

Share

During Black History Month, we celebrate the legacy and awe-inspiring contributions of those committed to equality. Their efforts preserve a rich cultural heritage and pave the way for future generations.

As I reflect on the importance of Black History Month, I think of all my heroes, mentors, friends and family who have helped shape my heritage and view of the world. They set me on my path, inspiring me to be the best and driving me to give back relentlessly as a mentor and humbly serve as a leader raising my hand when not called upon.

Black History Month also serves as a reminder to us all that the path to acceptance and respect is one that leads to understanding. Because, the truth is, we have more in common than not.

At AT&T, we connect people in meaningful ways. We innovate to improve lives and we deliver services that enrich, entertain and unite. In recognition of Black History Month, we’re honoring the trailblazers who’ve paved the way for black excellence. In the spirit of honoring that excellence, AT&T’s Dream in Black presents Black Future Month, a celebration of the people who are making history by shaping our futures, today.
